Legend of Zelda&colon; Four Swords is Now Free on 3DS eShop

Nintendo, developer of the ever popular Legend of Zelda franchise is giving some of it away for FREE! This isn't the first time Nintendo has offered the game for free but it's not going to stay that way forever.

Legend of Zelda: Four Swords: Anniversary Edition is now available for free on the Nintendo eShop, but act fast because the promotion is only good until Febuary 2 at 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time.

It looks like this offer is only available for gamers in North America, and if you haven't already done so, requires creating a Nintendo Network ID as well as the installing the latest 3DS firmware.

The whole process takes about 10 minutes then you can get into the legendary four-player fun of Four Swords!

Four Swords is a throwback to the top down gameplay of the classic Zelda with a multiplayer twist, allowing up to four people (as the name implies) to play with each other via local DS wireless connections.
